Ingredients
- 2 large handfuls (about 3 cups) raw kale leaves
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 lemon, juiced (about 3 tablespoons of lemon juice)
- 1/2 teaspoons salt
Directions
- Strip the kale leaves from the stems using your fingers.
- In a large bowl, combine the de-stemmed kale leaves with 1 tsp. olive oil, juice from 1 lemon (2-3 Tbsp) and salt.
- Put an additional tsp. of olive oil onto your hands to coat.
- Using a massaging action (similar to kneading bread dough), start to tear the leaves apart and massage. Watch video to see how this is done.
- Continue massaging for about 2-5 minutes or until the leaves are softened, the leaves will also turn a more vibrant green.
- Use this as a simple salad, or add toppings of your choice for a complete meal in a bowl.
